BEHIND THE LENS #371: Featuring Mye Hoang

A purr-fectly meow-velous week on BEHIND THE LENS thanks to writer/director MYE HOANG and her new documentary CAT DADDIES! If you missed the show live on Monday, take a listen and catch up now as Mye and I spend the entire hour talking about cat cuteness and CAT DADDIES. MYE HOANG's documentary CAT DADDIES is the cat's meow! And as it breaks out across the country on a staggered theatrical release schedule, you want to claw your way to the theatre if need be because you don't want to miss all of this cuteness. Already a longtime friend and admirer of her husband Dave Boyle's work as a writer and director, it was a thrill to now speak with Mye about her filmmaking and storytelling skills. CAT DADDIES follows the journeys of feline-loving "Cat Daddies" and their precious fur babies around the country. Such personalities – both the dads and the cats! But no matter who they are or where they are, there is the inexplicable bond of unconditional love that ties dad and cat together. Honing in on eight cat dads – a homeless man named David, a cat rescuer, an actor and social media influencer, a stuntman, a teacher, an engineer, a truck driver, and a group of firefighters – Mye delivers a beautiful film that breaks down myths about men and cats while focusing in on the emotional support, strength, and joy cats provide each of their humans. Listen as the ever-exuberant and effervescent Mye talks about the birth of the story idea, the process of cat daddy and cat selection, filming logistics and cross-country travel associated with the filming, editing (which was done by Dave Boyle), self-distribution, a charming score, how CAT DADDIES made Mye a true lover of documentary filmmaking, and so much more. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
